agreed - at this point you should be looking at stylesheets and span tags
to do your styling, especially if you're doing multiple text styles in a
single field - it makes it much easier to change later if the client starts

Thanks everyone. I got multiple fonts working wonderfully. I'll never
look back.
One quirky AS3 thing though: why do I have to refer to the font this

Font.registerFont(XYZBold);
Then I tried:
Font.registerFont(new XYZBold().fontName);
But that didn't work either. Where do you make it available?

It depends on the compiler, but in the Flash IDE go into your library, and
click New Font, then embed the font you want. Bold and Italic have to be
embedded separately if required. Remember to turn on Export for Actionscript
as well.
You also might want to look into style sheets. It keeps things
